Shortly after news of Dante Cunningham's arrest broke, the Minnesota Timberwolves announced the release of point guard A.J. Price.

According to multiple reports, the decision to release Price was made last night and wasn't as a direct result of Cunningham's current situation.

The Wolves official statement.

The Minnesota Timberwolves today announced that the team has waived guard A.J. Price. The Wolves roster stands at 14.

During the 2013-14 NBA season, Price appeared in 28 games with the Timberwolves and averaged 1.6 points, 0.5 assists and 0.4 rebounds in 3.5 minutes per game. Playing in his fifth season out of Connecticut, Price has averaged 5.9 points and 2.2 assists in 15.3 minutes over a 235 game career.

With Cunningham being held without bail and unavailable to play in Minnesota's Friday (and likely Saturday) game(s), the Wolves will likely be looking at a number of power & combo forwards. With Adelman's (baffling) allegiance to J.J. Barea, it's unlikely that Minnesota signs another point guard.
